This report is an outgrowth of a request from the New London City Manager to the New London County Soil and Water Conservation District (S&WCD). The S&WCD referred this request to the Eastern Connecticut Resource, Conservation and Development (RC&D) Area Executive Committee for their consideration and approval. The request was approved and the measure was reviewed by the Eastern
Connecticut Environmental Review Team (ERT).
The soils of the site were mapped by a soil scientist from the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS). Reproductions of the soil survey map, a table of soils limitations for certain land uses and a topographic map showing property boundaries were distributed to all Team members prior to their review of the site.
The ERT that field-checked the site consisted of the following personnel:
Gary Damian, District Conservationist, SCS; Rob Rocks, Forester, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); Michael Zizka, Geologist, DEP; Andy Petracco, Recreation Specialist, DEP; Ralph Lewis, Geologist, Solid Waste Management, DEP; Jim Murphy, Ecologist, Water Compliance, DEP; Ken Metzler, Wetland Ecologist, DEP; Joan Zaprzalka, Regional Planner, Southeastern Connecticut
Regiona1 Planning Agency; and Jeanne Shelburn, ERT Coordinator, Eastern Connecticut RC&D Area.
The Team met and field checked the site on Thursday, August 30, 1979. Reports from each contributing Team member were sent to the ERT Coordinator for review and summarization for the final report.
This report is not meant to compete with private consultants. As requested by the City, this report, which identifies the existing resource base of the Bates Woods Park, shall constitute the environmental assessment portion of the City's open space application for Federal Department of the Interior, Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service funds to assist in the acquisition of this property.
The Eastern Connecticut RC&D Area Committee hopes that this report will be of value and assistance in making any decisions regarding this particular site.
If you require any additional information, please contact: Ms. Jeanne Shelburn, Environmental Review Coordinator, Eastern Connecticut RC&D Area, 139 Boswell Avenue, Norwich, Connecticut 06360, 889-2324.
